Bug Description

indicator-network-service is frequently writing copious amounts of debug messages to /home/phablet/.cache/upstart/indicator-network.log, for example:

tail -f /home/phablet/.cache/upstart/indicator-network.lo
** (process:1378): DEBUG: device-base.vala:152: Marking '/ril_0' as Disabled
** (process:1378): DEBUG: device-base.vala:152: Marking '/ril_0' as Disabled
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:581: Active connection changed to: wlan0
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:581: Active connection changed to: wlan0
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 22
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 25
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 29
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 25
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 22
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 25
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 22
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 19
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 16
** (process:1378): DEBUG: network-action-manager.vala:261: Cell Strength: 19

If I am moving around then the signal strength is frequently changing and this log is being appended to every second or so. This is wasteful on flash and also wastes power just for debug messages.
